Go 1.2 Release Candidate 5 released

[Andrew Gerrand]

Hi Go nuts,

We have just released go1.2rc5, a release candidate for Go 1.2.

This release candidate is stable, but please exercise caution when deploying to production systems. We anticipate that this will be the final 1.2 release candidate.

Please help us by testing your Go programs with the new tool chain and libraries, and report any problems using the issue tracker:
    http://golang.org/issue/new

You can download binary and source distributions from the usual place:
    https://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/list?q=go1.2rc5

To compile from source, update to the go1.2rc5 tag with "hg update go1.2rc5" and build as usual.

To find out what has changed, read the release notes for Go 1.2:

Documentation for Go 1.2 is available at http://tip.golang.org/

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the release so far.

Andrew
